He lived, he loved, he laughed, and he cared. If you were his
friend, you were his
friend for life. He treasured his family.
He took care of all he loved. His magnetic personality was felt by
everyone around him.He
enjoyed his hobbies, especially the Miniature Donkeys.He cherished the family events and holiday get togethers.
Richard loved my dad Bob, who passed away three years ago. They were
the best of friends. Dad said Richard was the son he never had and
Richard said Bob was the father he never had. They are both in
Heaven reunited with our special dog Rosie. I miss him every day,
every hour of the day.
We had time to say the
things we wanted to say and spend time with our family.
He told me the donkey shows must go on. He would like to see us Host
a National Show in Red Bluff. He doesn’t want me to quit because he
won’t be there in person, but believe me, he will be with us in
spirit!

He loved the donkeys and all our friends, our children and our 5
grandchildren. He was a fun, loving, honest man with a big heart and
took no bull from anyone. Thank you all for the beautiful words of
comfort and great stories about Richard. His wishes are for us to
smile and cherish the great memories we had together.
He did not want to say good-bye with a service. Keep his Spirit
alive with the stories of the good times we had.
